The suspect — an Everett man, 52 — also was taken to Providence. His condition was not immediately available, but his injuries reportedly were not life threatening. A Lake Stevens woman, 29, was his passenger. She was taken to Swedish/Edmonds hospital for a medical evaluation.

Mountlake Terrace police first tried to pull over a 1994 Jeep Cherokee on I-5 near 220th Street SW, but the driver wouldn’t stop.

The Jeep wound up driving through Mill Creek.

The injured officer was looking for a spot to deploy spike strips when a collision occurred between the police car and suspect’s vehicle. The crash happened at the intersection of 35th Avenue SE and 180th Street SE about 1:20 a.m.
